Lefkas: The Ionian Gem You’ll Never Forget
Tucked between mainland Greece and the turquoise waters of the Ionian Sea lies Lefkas (or Lefkada) — an island where natural beauty, sailing adventures, and authentic Greek charm collide. Often overshadowed by its flashier cousins, Lefkas remains one of the best-kept secrets in the Mediterranean. But for those who know it, it's love at first sight.
An Island You Can Drive To
Unlike most Greek islands, Lefkas is accessible by car. A floating bridge connects it to the mainland, making it a convenient escape without the need for ferries. That little detail alone makes Lefkas a favorite for road-trippers, yacht lovers, and families looking for stress-free travel.

Beaches That Belong on Postcards
Let’s talk about those beaches. They’re not just beautiful — they’re otherworldly. The west coast of Lefkas is lined with dramatic cliffs, white sand, and water that shifts from electric blue to deep emerald.
Porto Katsiki – One of the most iconic beaches in Greece. Arrive early by boat to beat the crowds.
Egremni Beach – Only recently reopened to land access, it remains more serene by sea.
Kathisma – Vibrant and lively, perfect for paragliding or relaxing with a drink.
Milos Beach – A peaceful escape accessible by footpath or dinghy from Agios Nikitas.
Village Vibes and Island Culture
While the coastline gets most of the attention, inland Lefkas is full of surprises. Tiny mountain villages like Karya offer a taste of authentic island life — think traditional embroidery, slow-cooked lamb, and quiet stone streets.
Lefkas Town, the island’s capital, has a charming mix of Venetian architecture, lively cafes, and an artistic atmosphere. Don’t miss:
For the Adventure-Seekers
Lefkas is not just for beach bums. Windsurfing in Vasiliki is world-famous, and paragliding over Kathisma is as close to flying in a dream as it gets. The mountainous terrain is also perfect for hikers and cyclists, offering panoramic views over the Ionian Sea.
